Devotional Thoughts about Genesis Chapter 3
Can you trust anyone these days? It’s a valid question with the news full of imploded marriages, hackers and corruption in public life. People don’t seem to need a legitimate excuse to attack another country or to help themselves to goods they don’t own. And aggravatingly, they often seem to get away with it.
Those of us concerned about it aren’t only victims; we’re perpetrators, too. Ever since the Fall, we’re part of what’s wrong with this world. If we were honest with ourselves, we’d see that looking out for ourselves is at the top of our list of priorities. We justify in ourselves what we condemn in others.
Well, how do we even know what’s true? Social media is full of self-proclaimed as well as credentialed experts all claiming to offer the real lowdown on certain foods, therapies or do-it-yourself projects. But as many of them flatly contradict each other, we're left looking for another information source.
God Himself is the truth that people have been rejecting ever since the Fall. He’s revealed to us the unchanging truth in His Word. Lord, thank you for the good news You offer to this fallen world: that Jesus took the punishment for our sins, and we can come to You in faith. Help me keep returning to You in repentance.
